How'd prohibition work out for ya? So many good, decent, honorable people thought banning the sale of alcohol would make us a more God fearing nation resulting in less spousal abuse, stronger families, men back in church, etc. Didn't work out that way at all.
Lots of things are sin. Lying is sin. Envy is sin. Not remembering the sabbath is a sin. The worship of other Gods is a sin. Doesn't mean we go around banning things. This is what church and family are for, not government regulation.
Giving the gov't power to remove "obscene" material from the net sounds righteous, without considering who decides what is righteous.
Imagine a gov't with the mentality of a raging liberal deciding what is obscene on the net, and therefore to be abolished.
First off... The prohibition red-herring isn't going to fly. First of all a couple of drinks is not the same thing as being a drunkard. Making love and babies with one's spouse is not the same thing as indulging in mindless, animalistic sex with either multiple "real" or "imaginary" sex partners. I personally have never called for nor do I condone making alcohol illegal just as I have never condoned or called for making sex between a married man and woman illegal.
My God says adultery, fornication, sodomy and other forms of sexual debauchery are sin and not partaking in such deviant behaviors has worked for me. You obviously disagree. That is your prerogative but history shows that when the moral decay of a society takes over it's not long before the culture that's rotting ceases to exist. We have obomba because social standards have digressed to the point where people are tolerant of liars, cheats, thieves, drug addicts and sexual perverts like obomba. I cannot fault Santorum for having higher standards than most folks and while I am a firm Newt supporter I would not be one bit ashamed of voting for a man like Santorum. If Newt doesn't win the alternatives are either obomba or romney. Neither are acceptable to me. Santorum has character and good moral values. I would gladly take him over the obomney's of this nation.
